Censors apparently can’t make up their minds as to whether black or white is the most appropriate colour with which to blot out indecent material – in spite of the episodes airing in the middle of the night when nobody is watching.

Holy Cow Ass, they just cant stop censoring the damn anime!
Then you let a lot of zombies get killed spilling loads of blood and you still censor ecchi scenes?!
You pack of retardeds can censor my ass!!

what i find funny is that with the censorship in this particular episode, and going by some of the images it only makes it seem worse than it is, especially in the ass and tonguing scene, serious WTF if you dont know whats happening

It really doen’t make any sense any longer. This show should already be considered to be full of stuff that doesn’t fit into pre-evening airing and they are still censoring EVERYTHING. Really everything. From panties to groping to zombie splatter. What exactly are they trying to hide there? What exactly is the goal of censoring something that was INTENDED to show all that from the start?
It doesn’t fucking make any sense.

Seriously, censorship has solely become a tool to increase DVD/Blu-Ray release and annoy tv-watchers and possibly fansub watchers.
The thing is, i’m guessing they are pissing off so many possible customers that you’d have to question this whole practice by now.
HOTD is an anime i wouldn’t buy anyway because it doesn’t strike up enough interest to collect it. The prospect of getting uncensored pseudo-porn and bloodshed isn’t enough to change my mind on that note.

I respect that the censorship is for sales but they could make a better form of censorship. I.e. I don’t mind censorship in StrikeWitches – rays of light coming from the ground or steam clouds aren’t as bad as to hide half the screen.

The reason for the censors at that hour of night is probably a desperate attempt to stop those mischievous hooligans from participating in late night “extracurricular” activities. Therefore, by censoring a borderline H scene they are, infact, saving a few kittens.

Exactly, anon. Hotter stuff than this used to come on TV for teens and it wasn’t even racy. They’re just trying to sell discs, but… it’s a shit show because it’s a fanservice show without fanservice – it doesn’t matter what’s on the disc – this is the version everyone sees. So why pay for it? Rather, why pay twice since people probably already pay for cable or satellite to see this little teaser copy?

Hey guys, guess what? This isn’t being censored for the sake of responsibility or protecting the children. This is being censored to yell “BUY ME ON BLU-RAY!” as loud as it can. IIRC the only channels it is not censored on are premium channels. And there, it still yells “BUY ME ON BLU-RAY” on the screen after every commercial break in a marquee at the bottom.
